[As the recording begins, the sounds of a Pokemon battle can be heard.]

Yes, no, dodge that! Don't let him suck the life out of you! Attack him! There!

[The sound of a successful capture can be heard.]

Yes! Zubat is mine!


[Private to Members of Team Rocket]:
I assume the other creatures within the well are fair game.

Removal is proceeding as planned but is tedious work.

Fine by me. I get to sit on my ass doing absolutely nothing until you're done with the busywork.

[Audio/Private]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

You could always help.

[Audio/Private]

[shirou-machi.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. I could.

But I don't think I will.

[Audio/Private]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

Curse you!

[Rocket Filter]

[kana-ushiro.livejournal.com]

Doesn't it hurt them when you cut off their tails, sir?

[Rocket Filter]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

Who cares?

[perpetualfrown.livejournal.com]

Are Zubats actually useful? The ones I've been dealing with just faint after one hit. [Then again Ren has been making Elekid spam thundershock all the time.]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

What? They're that weak? No one told me this!

[perpetualfrown.livejournal.com]

I'd assume you could figure it out while fighting it if it's any good or not.

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

Ekans' poison attacks seemed to have little to no effect. Perhaps it was just exceptionally strong...yes, that must be it!

[perpetualfrown.livejournal.com]

... No, I think that's a type disadvantage. [Flipping through some notes he was taking earlier now. Snorts after a moment.] Yeah, Zubats are poison typed as well according to my Pokedex, so using a poison typed attack is only going to make the fight drag on.

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

Is that so?

What type would be best for beating Poison types?

[perpetualfrown.livejournal.com]

Ground, or... psychic. [He's going wtf how can something be ground and psychic typed. Psychics aren't exactly common, or well liked in his world Hao.] Though since Zubat is in the air, I don't see how ground would work.

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

So I'll have to find a psychic type to crush anyone who tries to use Zubats against me.

[perpetualfrown.livejournal.com]

Apparently. I doubt they're very common though.

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

That shouldn't be a problem.

[Audio]

[10yen_idol]

Yay! Congratulations!!

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

It's my first of many successful captures.

[Audio]

[10yen_idol]

Really?

... are you going to catch more Zoobats?

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

If they prove useful, I'll catch more. Many more, until I have an army of loyal Zubats at my command!

[He cackles into the recorder.]

[Audio]

[10yen_idol]

[She ignores the cackling! It sounds a little scary, but it's not good to judge based on appearances alone.]

Wow, a whole army of them!?

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

Yes, enough to blot out the skies!

[Audio]

[10yen_idol]

That's amazing! I didn't know you could block out the skies with just twelve Zubats!

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

What do you mean by 'just twelve Zubats'? An army requires more, much more.

Is there something no one's told me?

[Audio]

[10yen_idol]

Um, I was talking to the Nurse at the Pokecenter, and she said that a trainer can only have twelve Pokemon at a time.

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

What?! This is unacceptable!

[Audio]

[10yen_idol]

Huh? Twelve is already a lot of Pokemon, isn't it?

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

How am I meant to conquer the world with only twelve Pokemon?

[Audio]

[10yen_idol]

Conquer the world...

... um, do you mean like a bad guy from a cartoon?

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

Yes! Although I am far superior to any Saturday morning cartoon villain!

[Audio]

[10yen_idol]

So that means... you have giant robots and tanks and henchmen and a secret volcano base!?

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

Of course! What else would I have?

[Audio]

[10yen_idol]

Uuuuu... there aren't any good guy teams anywhere! You're going to take over the world, ban all special bargain sales in every grocery store, and raise prices everywhere so that I won't be able to buy lunch at school anymore...

This isn't good! What are we going to do!?

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

You'll do nothing and like it!

[He's cackling again.]

[Audio]

[10yen_idol]

That's so mean! I'll... I'll never forgive you!!

For the sake of our weekly buy-one-get-one-free sales!!

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

I'll make sure to remove your precious sales once I take over. You can be sure of that.

[Audio]

[10yen_idol]

[THE FIEND!]

I won't let you have your way! Even if I haven't really done a lot of fighting yet, I'll definitely stop you!

... um... somehow!!

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

You don't even know who or where I am! There's no way you can stop me!

[Audio]

[10yen_idol]

... but you just gave me a lot of really useful information! All I have to do is look for a volcano, a bunch of giant robots, and a lot of Zubats!

[Audio]

[serpensrex.livejournal.com]

I didn't...

[The device goes silent for a moment.]

Yes, you're right. Whatever shall I do when you invade my volcano base?

[Audio]

[10yen_idol]

Yay! I knew it would all work out somehow!!
